Some interns over at NASA have created a viral video spoofing on Meghan's song All About That Bass and it's called All About That Space.

The interns taped it at the Johnson Space Center in Houston after the successful launch of the Orion space capsule.

Some of the lyrics included lines like:

"I'm all about that space
'Bout that space, space travel
I'm bringing rockets back
Go ahead and tell the whole world that
We're doing exploration. Come on, board it stat
We're ready for liftoff
Every spacecraft needs propulsion from
the bottom to the top."

It's always interesting to hear way after the fact what behind-the-scenes drama happened on movies like this!

Veteran publicist Reid Rosefelt recently revealed that when he was working on Desperately Seeking Susan, promotional shots taken by the late Herb Ritts of Madonna and Rosanna Arquette were almost nixed by the movie's ad campaign, because of concern that the public would think it was a movie about lesbians!

He recalls:

"Some people at Orion thought that the image would make people think it was a lesbian movie. Thankfully the film’s producers, Midge Sanford and Sarah Pillsbury, were able to make their case."

Wow! Absolutely ridiculous!

But then again, we imagine that issues like this STILL come up in the industry, which frankly, is a real shame!

Kudos to the producers for holding their ground, though! Those images have become pretty iconic as this point, and we couldn't have imagined what would have become of them if they had gone in another direction!

In July, father John McCain was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, which also claimed Beau's life.

When the 33-year-old began crying, the politician went over and consoled her, adding:

"There is hope... And if anybody can make it, your dad [can]."

Biden is also optimistic about "breakthroughs that are occurring now," regarding potential treatment options and cures.

"There's a lot of things happening. Any of you who have somebody who is diagnosed with gliobastoma, which is about as bad as it gets, there's breakthroughs that are occurring now... And it can happen tomorrow."
